Ferrari Slip to Dead Last
By Dale Calkins
April 20 2009
The Scuderia has slipped to the very bottom of the World Constructors' Championship, even behind Force India F1, after again failing to score any points in the Chinese Grand Prix. With Raikkonen finishing tenth and Massa suffering a mechanical problem, Ferrari now has no points on the board in their worst start to a season since 1981.

"In the early stages, it wasn't too bad but then, after my stop, I lost grip from the tyres and I was no longer able to push as hard as I wanted. We have made mistakes and are not quick enough - it is easy to criticize now, but we know how to turn things around."

"Obviously, I'm very disappointed and a bit upset but I am still motivated. All of us must work together to get out of this situation. The team is united and there is a real will to turn things around as soon as possible; we should soon be getting some significant aerodynamic developments, but it's true that we also have to sort out our reliability as soon as possible."
